General Application Information for Fall 2023 Entry
OUCOP admits a new class each year to begin in the Fall semester. Only completed applications are considered for a possible interview. A completed application consists of a verified PharmCAS application, 2 letters of reference, and a timed writing assessment.
Failure to meet deadlines or to submit any of the required application materials will constitute a late or incomplete application and will not be considered for admission.
If you are invited to interview, you will also be required to complete an OUHSC application which will be by invitation only.
There are three application tracks: Fall and Spring Priority Application tracks and a Summer Application track. Please read the information below carefully to determine which track might be right for you.
Admission to the Doctor of Pharmacy program is on a competitive basis, and classes are filled on a rolling admissions basis which means that we fill seats as we interview. It is recommended that applicants apply as soon as they are eligible to do so.
Applicants should successfully complete all required prerequisite courses and provide the college with an official transcript showing any missing course grades by August 5, 2023.
